Exploring Insights: Harnessing QDA Miner for Qualitative Data Analysis

FineResults Research Services would like to invite you to take part in our upcoming workshops on Research at our FineResults Research Services training facilities in Nairobi, Kenya or online.

ANALYSIS OF QUALITATIVE DATA USING QDA MINER

 

Introduction

QDA Miner is a useful tool for qualitative data analysis of interview or focus group transcripts, legal documents, journal articles, speeches, even entire books, as well as drawings, photographs, paintings, and other types of visual documents. QDA Miner is an easy-to-use qualitative data analysis software package for coding, annotating, retrieving and analyzing small and large collections of documents and images. Its seamless integration with SimStat, a statistical data analysis tool, and WordStat, a quantitative content analysis and text mining software, gives you unprecedented flexibility for analyzing text and relating its content to structured information including numerical and categorical data.
